WWF ELO Ratings 2002-June 2012

I finally figured out how to get my Excel spreadsheet handle 83,000
lines of match data and calculate ELO ratings without completely locking
up. I started everyone at 1600 on Jan 2001 and all draws/no contests
resulted in zero point changes. There is a variable k-factor where PPVs
are worth a lot more than A-show shows which are worth a lot more than
B-shows which are worth a lot more than house shows and dark matches.
The "n/a chg" means that the person didn't wrestle in the previous
month.

Changes I want to implement to the regiment:- Right
now there is no decline for inactivity. Brock Lesnar returns after
years of being gone - should he go down? What about The Undertaker
taking long hiatuses between big matches?- Additionally, title
matches have no added weight and rumbles are not included. Shouldn't a
title win be worth a lot? If you lose a title match, should that also be
a large wager?- Wins via DQ are treated the same as clean wins. Losing via DQ is often a cheap out which is almost a "win" for the loser.
